Renegade Wheelsmith

Creature — Dwarf Pilot1 generic manaRed manaWhite mana

The trigger condition is the whole reason this rewards a deck instead of just riding along in one: it fires when the creature becomes tapped, and nothing about that says "attacking." Tap it for crew, tap it to a convoke spell, tap it to any effect that needs a creature turned sideways, and the same evasion-enabler comes online for free. Most cards that strip a blocker do it as a one-shot spell or gate it behind the attack step; hanging the effect on an ongoing tap trigger means the same Dwarf can clear a defender every turn, and clear it for whatever you want, not just its own swing. That is a meaningfully different axis, and the Pilot subtype is the tell: crewing a Vehicle taps it without sending it into combat, so the blocker-removal can fire on a turn the Wheelsmith itself stays home. The 3/2 body keeps it honest as a creature that has to survive to repeat the effect, and the single-target restriction means it greases one attacker through, not the whole team. It is the rare evasion-granting design that pays off a deck full of reasons to tap your own creatures rather than a deck that simply attacks with them.
